I'd be fine with that we will all save 400+ in the end...I'm contemplating pulling the trigger this Friday, I just got my youtube channel monotized, I would love to be one of the first to do a youtube review of these and get my channel on the map
also a reddit review as well
Not to be a buzz kill, but I purchase a lot from China and have been buying shoes wholesale for over 10 years from factories down there, and the reality is that your not saving $400 dollars because these shoes are not worth $1400. Just like the v3 are really only worth $200-250 (and that leaves a fair amount of profit for the sellers) The auto-lacing mag is probably 'worth' $300 depending on what parts they used, maybe ($500 if they want to make profit off of the novelty of it all). The factory and or sellers are making a giant profit off of these shoes at $1000, and they still are not 1:1
-They still haven't tinted the soles blue, and I assume they are still using NON un-resistant rubber for the sole (which are now standard in Nikes/Jordan and easy to get in china). Hence how quickly these things go yellow. This is easy for even the most basic bootleg factories.
-The packaging is probably made out cheap materials, for this price the box should be sturdy. My v3's came with the top of the box sunk in from being poorly stored prior to shipping. The magnets were weak and didn't work well at all.
-The packaging is missing details like the light blue Spackle pattern on the inside of the box, and the Tinker Hatfield signature being red...(wtf is up with that?)
-I also assume they still haven't programmed the heel lights to blink and change during charging and auto-lacing like the real Mags (also very easy to do)
-Also I'm sure they will continue to upgrade and update the shoes after the initial batch is sent out. Meaning early adopters are paying more for an inferior product. obvious flaws will only get updated after enough complaints and refusals to purchase by their customer base.
With all of that being said, the only reason these things/details are not implemented is (not because they cant) because many Chinese manufactures are cheap and will many times cut as many corners as the market will allow. Also there is no telling if the electronic and mechanical parts are of any decent quality, at $1500 the parts and manufacturing should be very good, on par with the authentic Nike Mags.
I would purchase a pair of V4's (I can definitely afford it) but at the moment with all of the still glaring flaws/details that have not been fixed and the possibility of shoddy electronics, there is NO way these are worth anything near $1000. $1400 is laughable.
Don't believe the hype, these are will not be as limited as they say, if they say there are 300 pairs, there are or will be more.
A fair price for these would be around $700 given what the market has shown they would pay for the v3's.
